FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS AND JEET KUNE DO
Picture
Our KALI / JKD classes mix the techniques and training methods of Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipino Martial Arts. Usually these styles are taught independent of each other within the context of the class, but are aligned with each other in the ranking process. This very much parallels Guro Inosanto's approach to presenting his school's curriculum. We feel that these two curriculums work well together technically and teaching them together allows us to maintain room for classes in areas such as Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. 



Filipino Martial Arts, sometimes referred to as Kali, Escrima, or Arnis, are as diverse and numerous as the islands of the Philippines itself. FMA (we use the term Kali) is mostly recognized as a stick or blade art, but it has multiple areas of fighting and training including long weapons, throwing weapons, flexible weapons, empty hand striking and grappling techniques, and even healing and spiritual applications. At Seattle Integrated Martial Arts, we emphasize single and double stick training, dagger, and an empty hand system called Panantukan. Our Kali training is derived primarily from Guro Dan Inosanto’s multi-sourced style and Guro Rick Faye’s MKG methods.

Jun Fan Gung Fu is the basis for Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. The terms tend to be used interchangeably, but technically, Jun Fan refers to an actual curriculum and progression whereas JKD is more of a philosophy and approach to developing the martial artist based on their individual abilities and experience. The JKD mindset that we encourage our students to adopt is rooted in the belief that no system is superior and that a martial artist should strive to being open minded and adaptable. 

Goal: awareness, coordination, balance, agility, hand speed, and weapon and empty hand self-defense training.
Benefit: develops and enhances all aspects of our mixed martial arts training.
Fitness/Experience Level: everyone welcome.

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU, MACHADO STYLE
Picture

THE GROUND GAME

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU has become the most popular martial art in the world. Masters of the ground game, jiu-jitsu practitioners learn to use leverage over size and force to sweep, control, and submit their opponent. BJJ is fun and fully engaging of the mind and body. Learning and practicing jiu-jitsu is highly recommended to round out your self-defense system and is a big part of our JKD philosophy of mixed martial arts training.  Our lineage is of the Machado Brothers Jiu-jitsu through our head instructor, Brian Johnson, owner and head instructor at NWJJA in Seattle.

GOOD 2 KNOW

Goal: learn leverage and technique over size and speed.
Benefit: increased flexibility, endurance, falling skills, and the ability to defend yourself on the ground with any size of opponent. Patience and humility.
Fitness/Experience Level: everyone welcome.
Good to Know: BJJ will work an entirely different "mental muscle" than our other arts. It challenges students on a physical and mental level and it takes time and patience to get the feel of the techniques.

This is an "intimate" art - please be prepared to be in very close proximity to your partner!

MUAY THAI KICKBOXING
Picture

THE EIGHT LIMBS

MUAY THAI KICKBOXING, or Thaiboxing, has become  hugely popular all over the world. The devastating kicks, knees, punches, and elbows that Muay Thai is famous for not only grants the practitioner a solid form of self-defense, but also packs a walloping workout! Burning 500 - 800 calories in a 1 hour class is the norm!

GOOD 2 KNOW

Goal: develop powerful striking using the eight limbs.
Benefit: strength, power, and endurance. Stress relief; sense of empowerment; build confidence; significantly increase your cardio and conditioning.
Fitness/Experience Level: everyone welcome.
Good to Know: this is not a "kick the bag" class. Our class begins with an individual warm up; however, partner work is emphasized throughout the hour. You'll be working with focus mitts and Thai pads; partners trade off holding and striking.
